England national football team manager Thomas Tuchel has warned against relying on Bukayo Saka to solve all problems. The Arsenal winger has been struggling with an Achilles issue and has only made two substitute appearances so far.

England drew with Ghana in their last match, and Tuchel is cautious about expecting too much from Saka. Tuchel said: “We need it from everyone.”
